Nintendo sues the US government over tariffs — Japanese videogame giant seeks 200 billion refund with interest

Nintendo of America has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government seeking a refund of tariffs paid under President Trump's executive orders since February 2025, totaling over $200 billion. The company argues that these tariffs were unlawfully imposed and seeks the return of duties with interest. The Supreme Court previously ruled against the tariffs but U.S. Customs and Border Protection has not complied with the refund order. Nintendo joins over 1,000 companies in suing for refunds, with the complaint covering 10 executive orders and naming several government departments as defendants. The lawsuit highlights the impact of tariffs on Nintendo's pricing and production in Vietnam and China.
